The Farm is situated about 500 yds from the main A523 Leek-Ashbourne
road, just over 3m from Leek; turn-off A523 where signed for Basford,
Apesford and the Coombes Valley Reserve. From Leek this is a R turn,
after Bradnop; from Ashbourne it is a L turn, after Bottomhouse. Go
over the railway and the farm is on the left.
From SW: take M6 to j14; into Stone town-centre, then A520 to Leek;
then A523. (Short cut off A520 in Cheddleton: Turn right for the Churnet
Valley railway, over the level crossing and R at T junction, about
0.5m L turn for Bradnop – Middle Farm is about 2 miles down this road
on R.)
From SE: take M1 to j24; then A50 towards Stoke for about 25 miles,
then A515 to Ashbourne; At Ashbourne turn L at 2 roundabouts for Leek
– A52 later becomes A523.
From the NW: take M6 to j18, go through Congleton, then Leek to pick
up A523 for Ashbourne.
From the NE: make for Buxton then Leek, or
Ashbourne from the M1, as appropriate.
From Alton Towers, follow signs for Leek – this will eventually put
you onto the A523. You will be signed L onto this road and will pass
a Little Chef just before Bottomhouse.
